Notes
Here's a great tip when cooking spaghetti squash in the microwave: If you are getting some "roll" out of your spaghetti squash, trim about 1/8" off the bottom of the squash after you have cut it in half lengthwise. This will allow the squash to sit flat and not roll and keep the water inside the cavity.
